To know what it's like to love
somebody the way I love you
To know what it's like to love
somebody the way I love you
To know how it feels to kill
yourself with bad habits
To know what you want know
you'll never truly have it
New York City please go easy
on me tonight
New York City please go easy
on this heart of mine
'Cause I'm losing my lover to
the arms of another
New York City please go easy
on me tonight
New York City please go easy
on me tonight
When I went away saw your
face in my rear-view
I know that look on your face
that I had lost you
New York City please go easy
on me tonight
New York City please go easy
on this heart of mine
'Cause I'm losing my lover
to the arms of another
New York City please go
easy on me tonight
You promised I promised
I never knew I could be this selfish
Nights downtown it's a new town
But I keep thinking I
see your face in the crowd
But you're not here
and you won't be
'Cause you love me enough
to let go of me
New York City please go easy
on me tonight
New York City please go easy
on this heart of mine
'Cause I'm losing my lover to
the arms of another
New York City please go
easy on me tonight
